Abstract
This paper discusses the common trends in teaching finite element analysis (FEA) in mechanical engineering programs and then presents a fresh look into a practical approach to teaching FEA. A case study on teaching FEA at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) is presented by discussing the syllabus, course structure, nature of exams, and the lab work.
